PRINCETON, NJ -- The 41% of Americans who now identify themselves as "pro-choice" is down from 47% last July and is one percentage point below the previous record low in Gallup trends, recorded in May 2009. Fifty percent now call themselves "pro-life," one point shy of the record high, also from May 2009.

Remember, polls are not science. They are opinion surveys and, while using some scientific techniques, polls are not designed like a scientific study. Poll results are about opinions, which are subject to frequent fluctuation, and media reports of poll results are nothing more than propaganda. Media uses poll results to bolster the seeming validity of their propaganda, but it is still just propaganda. Don’t take the media reports seriously and make it clear to other people that the media is simply spreading propaganda. When someone mentions something they heard or read in the media as if it is a fact, remind them of Pravda.

Every time there is even a mention of any kind of "restriction" on abortion...the pro-abortion fanatics start screaming about how restrictions on abortion will cause contraceptives to become illegal.

Similar to OUR stand on the Second Amendment issue, with one important distinction. We can show historical precedent for our concern; they are simply lying.

What, you mean like a pro-life woman who walks her talk? Karl Rove forbids it!

...if by that you mean Palin, then Obama would have garnered 347 EC’s, and won by 6 or 7 percent of the electorate...it may in fact have distinguished the parties, but would be regressive in helping Repubs win...and ditto for Newt, as well...it’s clear that Romney won over middle of the road voters, in whose minds Palin or Gingrich represent harshness and confrontation, thus rendering them unfit...remember, women that Mitt won over aren’t all warm and fuzzy about Newt, and Palin turns a lot of them off as well
...under those circumstances, any votes against Obama have even less meaning that in the last election, as the verdict would be evident at the start...
